Error description

  • Error Description￘
    Variables in task narrative not replaced in email body. This
    functionality always worked fine up until 7.5.1 and apparently
    was broken in IBM BPM 8.
    

Local fix

  • Local Fix￘
    Default Value for var's can be used but it's against best
    practice and would not work for those customers who is
    migrating their solution
    

Problem summary

  • Problem Summary:
    -- When BPM has been configured with proper SMTP server
    (smp-server value in 99Local.xml to correct SMTP
       server), User Profile has been administered with email
    address and checkbox has been enabled to receive
       task notifications via email)
       Now when starting a process in Task narrative in the email
    notification message the value of the variable is not replaced,
       instead the unevaluated variable or even an empty string is
    displayed
    
    Problem Conclusion:
    When creating a task the evaluated narrative is stored correctly
    so it could be displayed later.
